Authorities shared details of the case in a social media post, making a public appeal for assistance in capturing the individual responsible for the attack on a 68-year-old man. The assault, according to the NYPD Crimestoppers Facebook page, took place on June 19, around 2:50 PM in front of 2830 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn.
